About this course

The Docker for Bioinformatics – Hands-on Variation calling pipeline at Dr. Omics Edu is a live, mentor-led online course in bioinformatics programming and computing tools. It uses a variant calling pipeline to teach Docker in a practical, bioinformatics-first way. You learn on real biological data and finish with a working script, workflow or pipeline built on biological data that you can show to an employer, a guide or an admissions panel.
In this course you move through containers versus virtual machines, docker images, containers and registries and writing a dockerfile for bioinformatics tools, then apply them in a hands-on project. The course runs live online across 1 module, so you can ask your mentor questions as you work. It is an intermediate-level course, suited to learners who already know the basics.

What you will learn

• Containers versus virtual machines
• Docker images, containers and registries
• Writing a Dockerfile for bioinformatics tools
• Running tools from containers
• Building a variant calling pipeline in Docker
• Sharing and reproducing analyses
Bioinformatics analyst, computational biologist, pipeline developer, and an upgraded technical skill set for analyst roles.
